We turn into Victor’s driveway and pull up to a three-car garage. He jumps out of his vehicle and comes to my window. I push the button to lower it so I can hear him.

“Park inside the garage, next to the sports car. This way, my teammates won’t see your car in the driveway,” he explains.

“Some of them live here?” I whine. I’m not happy about bumping into his teammates when I’m here. In fact, I’m downright mortified. What if they see us? Hockey Scoop would love to break this news to the sports world. However, into the garage I go. Where else can I stay besides a hotel?

I haven’t heard from my insurance company, and it will take weeks, if not months, to fix my house. I still have to pay my mortgage, and hotels aren’t cheap. I’m not ready to swallow my pride and ask my dad for help. No, I’ll ride it out on my own as long as I can.

“You have your own bathroom in here and plenty of towels and toiletries in the linen closet. Make yourself at home.”

“Thank you so much.” My lips quiver at his hospitality and generosity.

“I get it.” His voice is soft with empathy. I can’t look at him. I’m too vulnerable, especially now. I can’t fall for him. Ha, as if, I laugh inside my head. I’m being ridiculous. He’s made it clear he’s not looking for anything serious.

We could not be more opposite. All my relationships are long term and all his are short term. The mistake I make is committing myself to a man before I get to really know him. By the time I see red flags, I’m in too deep. Then I resort to denial and put blinders on while my life reaches a boiling point, and I can’t wait to leave.

After six months with Paul the relationship was heading south, and I should never have let it go for as long as it did. Paul was moody and tended to have a volatile personality. I started making excuses for his behavior shortly after we started dating, and it became a habit. I
